I don't do very much pinup art as I prefer my ladies with full armor/clothing and just common sense images, but I thought I should try my hand at it just to keep my skills up and to add pinup art to my portfolio. How do you think i did for my first attempt.
In this scene a woman (with a cybernetic arm) is conversing with her apartment AI. |

| Contemplating.jpg Obsidian 2017/2/26 21:28 1324 2
After learning that the bad guys are actually good guys who basically didn't know their own strength, I am stuck with the unenviable task of explaining it to the other Obsidian's. I stare out of the window to the empty stars as I'm fond of doing and I pour myself an Ice cold drink...and it's...it's blue. The sweet tasting beverage is of some elvish make and is a bit thick and syrupy. The euphoric rush of the intoxicating ambrosia comes quickly as a result of not having had alcohol in some time. My wife Ai walks into my office to look in on me and her black skin glistens amidst the alcoholic haze. While her skin color is odd it also feels normal so I don't say anything.
"Why does your brow furrow so husband?"
"I'm struggling with how to deliver bad news. Well not so much bad as it is news that will not be well received."
"So the aliens were misguided an there was a misunderstanding...tell them what they need to hear."
As she speaks the sun peaks through the windows and is nearly blinding so I turn away from the light I hear a voice, it's a female and sounds very familiar. I step out of the office and onto the busy streets and I'm nearly run down by a car.
My heart races as I realize I could've been killed. I make my way down the street to the towering office buildings that make up the downtown area. I hear what can only be the roar of a aircraft of some kind and I can hear voices. I can't quite make out the words but I do hear gunfire. I turn a corner and there my crew are fighting some...thing. Shadawar is yelling.
"I have him!We have to get out of here!"
I turn to run but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to move, like I'm running in slow motion. I feel heavy.
"Give him the stimulant." Someone yells and I think yeah Give me a stimulant...so I can....
"Wake up!! Come on Wake up!! We're in bad shape Obsidian wake the hell up!!!"
I struggle to focus my eyesight, and there's a foul taste in my mouth. I realize I've been asleep but I don't know what happened I'm disoriented and confused, and I do a backpedal away from whoever the hell is holding me.
In an instant I'm armed and armored with a gun in my hand pointed in the general direction of all the commotion. I can't see my cybernetics aren't on line and everything is white and blurry.
"God, Look at his eyes!"
"Holy crap they're...they're normal."
"Normal, whose eyes...I can't see...is it my eyes?"
I can now clearly hear Panterra and Aini along with more of my crew. The grogginess is wearing off but my eyesight refuses to return. I can see the HUD on my helmet but it's all fuzzy.
"Obsidian it's Panterra, Listen to me! You and most of your crew were somehow rendered unconscious and were taken. The Scions and I have come to rescue you!"
"Okay...okay...But I can't see pal."
"They did something to your eyes regenerated them somehow. Your implants are gone and I'm guessing your loss of eyesight is a result. Unless you have some magic it's going to take time."
"I have some magic."
With that my sword and pistol exchange places and I cast a healing spell. Instantly my eyesight returns and the information I normally get is all but gone. Fortunately my helmet uses redundant systems so I can still target. Putting my sword back I poke my gun over the makeshift cover to see what the hell is happening. There are fires everywhere and several explosions as the Scions battle some unknown foe...a giant shadow demon monster thing. Thunderbolt is distracting the thing as Infinity Man tries to pummel it with energy. Black Scarab is trying to close the portal that it's trying to break through and the others are holding off demonic minions. I get to my feet and ask
"What do you need me to do?"
"Got more magic?"
"Tons."
With that I charge head first at the damned thing launching every kind of spell I can think of including a banishment spell. While the magic may come from my sword it is nonetheless highly effective against the creature and as it recoils Scarab is able to close the rift. After a few minutes of battling with the lesser minions it's Q&A time.
Back aboard my hip (which I have yet to name) I find out that for the last three months I have been sedated in a lab. My captors were attempting to use me as some sort of brainwashing program. Apparently My assassin skills were to be put to use for the good of the Krihan corporation. They were trying to make me and my crew into their personal killing machines. To make matters worse I have already been used quite effectively to kill at least one diplomat. The idea was to have me believe I was fighting some sort of alien invasion and working with other versions of myself they would send me on missions to do their killing all the while thinking I was helping defeat some great evil. Bastards.
"Their plan might have worked were you not so strong willed." Cerebron adds, "Your mind countered their illusion with a means of escape, and somehow transformed the villain into misunderstood heroes."
"How did you know about..."
Cerebron simply taps his finger on his helmet and I don't bother finishing my sentence. The most powerful psionic in the five galaxies probably saw the whole thing. Aini walks through the door and with a squeel of delight wraps her arms around me.
"Master you're alright...we were so worried."
Ai walks in her face somber, almost sad.
"Ai, what's wrong?"
"There have been casualties husband."
"How many? Who?"
She bursts into tears unable to contain her grief, and Aini bows her head sadly.
"What the...?"
Shadawar places his hand upon my shoulder and leans close to my ear.
"We lost two of your wives sir. Sabrina and your fourth wife are both in the sickbay with critical injuries."
"Look darling, I say holding Ai's face in my hands, "I can bring them back...As long as I have my sword"
A tear falls from Aini's eyes...
"No Master, you cannot."
"What are you talking about, this blade gives me the power to restore life to anyone no matter the condition of the body."
"It is not the body that is the problem master."
"There souls were devoured!!! BY that thing." Ai sobs.
The room is quiet and no one speaks for a very long time.
Where did the demon come from?
"They summoned it to hold us off" Black scarab says somberly..."they made their escape while we battled, we saved millions of live by defeating it but there was a great loss of life despite that victory.
"You would have been proud of them, they fought valiantly as warriors..they didn't not shrink nor did they falter. Their final thoughts were of you and the people of the colonies below." Thunderbolt's words ring hollow. it's not exactly a fair trade.
"How did they do all of this? Where do I find them and who is at the top of my deathlist!!"
Infinity Man places his hand on my chest.
"Clam down old friend, you can't simply go in guns blazing."
"I appreciate your help, heavens know. I know that right now you think you're doign the right thing by trying to be the voice of reason...but they violated me in a way you cannot begin to appreciate. They killed my family, and injured my crew...my family. So please understand that it is with respect and a rage you cannot fathom when I say...if you don't get your hand off me I'll remove it at the wrist...Old friend."
The most powerful man in the universe draws his hand back and allows me my moment of bravado. I'm no match for him but he knows my grief is too strong to be rationalized with right now.
"Take some time, a day or two, mourn your loved ones and we'll take a fresh approach at this. We are all Scions of Justice here and an attack on one is an attack on us all. We will fight this enemy together."
Black scarab is the group leader...but they're on my ship and here I'm in charge...I want blood. There are dead to to tend to and tears to shed...My family will have it's pound of flesh for this...Somebody's head will roll.

Sometimes the best technology is magic...when that happens it is best to travel to worlds where such things are commonplace and incidentally...cheap. Often you deal with some the most unusual life forms...like Medusai and of course...Elves.
On a side note all elves somehow instinctively know that Obsidian is not a true elf, except Celestial elves suggesting they also may not be true elves. When encountering elves of an species other than Celestial Obsidian is at best treated with discourtesy and at worst, hostility. He has not yet figured out why other elves don't like him. Sadly he probably never will. |

| Obsidian Dossier Obsidian 2016/9/27 16:34 1321 2
Name: Obsidian Mask Real Name: Rusquion T’ura Age: 327 (Solaran cycles) Height: 5ft 5in Weight: 147 lbs (172 in armor) Eye color:Aquamarine (Cybernetic eyes glow blue) Hair Color: Blond Species: Luminesti Elf (Solaran formerly) Vocation: Ninja/Mercenary Siblings: 6 3 brothers 3 sisters (all deceased) Birth Rank 3rd of 7 Known Relatives: Miridia (1st wife deceased), Sarah Dashel (2nd wife deceased), Jenara (Daughter), Arethan (son) Other known Relatives: None Known Associates:Crimson Mask, Cobalt Mask, The Scions of Justice, PRIDE, The Sathari Empire. IGFW sTAR Command. Int: 14 (140 IQ) Agl: !9 Str: 14 (50 in armor) End: 15 (75 In Armor) Psy: 18 (Minor Psionic Defenses) Pre: 19 (Elven DNA)
History: Born on earth in the 20th century Obsidian was once a human. He was accidentally summoned across space and time by a Mage. After some adventures he realized he was too old and out of shape to continue adventuring and so sought out magics to extend his life span. To that end he had himself transformed into a Luminesti elf forsaking his humanity and Solaran roots for all time. Obsidian became embroiled in the "Millennium Wars" fighting on the side of the IGFW and it's allies (Namely Earth). Using the skills he acquired as an adventurer Obsidian quickly rose in rank and was recruited into a black ops branch where he was trained by the alien Oni who worked with him for nearly 50 years before giving their approval and naming him "Ninja". Obsidian later was recruited by the mysterious Black Mantis who sought his services as an operative. While Obsidian refused permanent employment with the Black mantis he did take assignments over a period opf 100 years. Payment for those assignments has taken the form of his ship, his sword and his technology, as well as his crew.
Armor and weapons:
Absorbium 80 power armor: Obsidian's armor was once a heavy suit that provided no enhancements other than Camouflage and Energy Absorption. After an encounter with the villain Dominion, his suit was upgraded and while less absorptive boasts agility, speed, and strength enhancements. Both suits have Contra-Grav systems allowing him to change his point of gravity to any angle he chooses. The most recent upgrade to Obsidian's armor incorporates Absorbium 120 which can be used like Absorbium 80 with similar effectiveness with only one quarter the quantity. When used without restrictors Absorbium 120 can actually absorb life energy which is what makes it so very difficult to manufacture.
Admantine Vibro-claws: Obsidian has 2 retractable claws that while not indestructible can cut through virtually any material.
Gauntlets: Obsidian's bracers boast a wide array of surveillance, intrusion., and computer systems as well as kinetic relays which allow him to unleash stored energy into a kinetic pulse by punching a target.
Obsidian's Helmet has a wide variety of optics allowing him to see in every spectrum including x-ray. (Currently his cybernetic eyes allow him to do this without the helmet). His cybernetic eyes have similar capabilities though to a lesser degree. The helmet also have interfaces that work with all of the weapon systems of his various vehicles.
Self Contained Atmosphere: Obsidian's armor incorporates a complete self contained environment complete with food dispensaries as well as oxygen and waste direcycling. It has an energy supply that can be charged simply by kinetic impact.
Zero-Weapons: All of Obsidian's firearms are outfitted with smart systems allowing him to see through the barrel like a scope. They all support Variable round systems with nearly every type of ammunition imaginable. His guns have been enchanted so that ammunition is never depleted. They are each constructed with pure Infinitium shells making them indestructible by normal means.
Infinitium Blade: A gift from the Black Mantis Obsidian's sword can cast any spell he knows of at 5 times his power rank (Obsidian is currently rank 27) but only while the blade is retracted. The sword can cut through steel as easily as waving a stick through air and is highly enchanted so as to be able to affect even Deitic beings. The blade is semi sentient and can follow basic commands such as teleporting. The blade is absolutely lethal to anyone but Obsidian who can command anyone holding it to die. Obsidian has named the sword Godslayer and thus far it lives up to its name. The sword also boasts energy blade capabilities using a form of Anti-Matter Containment which allows objects to pass through a field containing Anti-Matter yet does not allow the Anti-Matter to escape. The damage from this version of the sword is nearly incalculable.
Flashing: All of the aforementioned gear is flashed, a process involving implants which allows said items to appear on the user at will so long as the item and the user are in the same dimension otherwise distance is not a factor.
Section-7 command Recommendations: Approach with extreme caution DO NOT confront directly.
Obsidian is known to take assignments from the figure known as he Black mantis, who may possibly be inclined to render aid do NOT confront the Black mantis under any circumstance. Should the Black Mantis become involved in any of Obsidian Mask's operations observe and report back immediately and DO NOT engage. |

Well things with Moonshadow ended badly, it turned out that she was recruiting me for her father as I first suspected. However, she did have a change of heart and released me from my obligations to her and promised to keep her father from interfering with me anymore...providing I don't do any more jobs for him. As a parting gift and a gesture of good will she has bestowed upon me a new set of armor. The new armor is heavily enchanted and as long as I wear it I am endowed with all of the powers I had as her scion. Otherwise I'm back to normal, cybernetic eyes and all. The computer systems on board make my old ones look positively primitive and include stealth systems that prevent detection by any means including scent (that's a new one) 4d tech conceals twin wrist blades on each arm. My weight capacity is an astonishing 10 tons and the interface allows me to run at speeds up to 120 mph in addition there is a infinitium cage that prevents me from being crushed and the energy siphons which stored excess bleed off from the armor's limited absorption payload are no longer necessary. The armor is also completely weightless. otherwise it has improved version of my previous armors. I can even survive in the vacuum of space for an unlimited amount of time and if necessary survive re-entry.

The following changes were made to the character: Male to female elf race...lip color...the end. That it the same hair, eyes, and skin texture as before...it lends itself to a female character really well. So what do you guys think...Obsidian's pretty hot right? |
